I am looking forward to this Sunday at First Baptist!

This is
D-Now weekend and we have approximately ninety youth signed up
from our church to participate. These youth will be involved in
Bible Study, worship and missions all weekend. The events will
culminate in worship Sunday morning at 11 AM. As in the past, we
are asking everyone to attend and support our youth and hear how
God is and has changed their lives. There will be no 9 AM service
this Sunday.
Sunday evening we will host the Childrens Choir from
the Friendship House of Jesus. This local mission has been a part
of the mission ministry of First Baptist Church since it began many
years ago. Many of our folks volunteer at the Friendship House, our
youth have worked there. Friendship House receives financial
assistance from First Baptist Church. Now we have the opportunity
to support them with our presence as we hear them praise the Lord
in song and testimony. They will be with us for the evening service
this Sunday. A love offering will be taken during the evening
service.
Our deacons are continuing the tradition of offering a
Widow and Widowers Banquet on Friday evening, March 27.
This was a huge success last year and promises to be a great time of
food and fellowship this year. Those wishing to participate need to
sign up no later than the 16th of March, by calling the church office.
Join us for all the excitement this week in Sunday School
and worship. I look forward to seeing you then.
Paul

HANDBELLS
You are invited to attend a mini-concert of handbell music. It
will be the culmination of an event know as Winter Ring, a
festival which will be held at the First United Methodist
Church in Bainbridge. The festival concludes with a concert
that is open to the public that Saturday afternoon, February 21.
It will be held in the Fellowship Hall of the Bainbridge United
Methodist Church at 3:00 PM. Join us for about thirty minutes
of beautiful bell music.

SONS OF JUBAL NOTES
It has been a busy two weeks of concerts. Over a period of 9
days, the Jubals have shared 8 services of music in Buford,
Thomaston, Ellijay and McRae. The full Sons of Jubal Choir
will be in Tifton on Thursday, April 16th. If there is sufficient
interest in taking a van to this concert, we could schedule it!
Indicate your interest by signing the list by the water fountain
at the Shell Annex entrance to the Sanctuary.
JUBAL BRASS WILL SHARE AT FBC BAINBRIDGE
THURSDAY, APRIL 30
LISTENING AIDS
The AV Committee has discovered a solution to those who
require additional amplification of the sounds. We have purchased and installed FM radio transmitters in the Worship
Center, Youth Building and Fellowship Hall which will broadcast events on the FM band of 91.1. A small FM receiver and
earphones or a headphone is all that is required. Check with a
member of the AV team if you need more information.

Disciple Now Weekend


Disciple Now is here and we are supper excited about what is
going to take place in the lives of teenagers from all across
Decatur County this weekend. We have 15 churches and
close to 500 students that will be attending the weekend.
This weekend has the potential to be a time in each students
life that he/she will look back on as a time that God radically
changed their life.
I want to encourage you to be praying for our students this
weekend. Pray that their hearts will be opened to hear the
gospel. Pray that they will be willing and vulnerable enough
to listen and obey the moving of The Holy Spirit. Pray for the
safety of the students as they travel this weekend. Pray that
we all stay well and pray for the normal distractions of life to
be bound in the name of Jesus so that students can gather
and worship in Spirit and Truth.
Pray for Ben Glenn as he prepares to speak in the main
sessions. Pray for the band, The Museum, as they lead us in
worship through song. Pray for the small group leaders as
they lead small group discussion. Pray for and thank God for
the small army of host homes, drivers, cookers, and servers.
Disciple Now Weekend is here. Will you join in praying for the
weekend? Thank you, church, for your support and help for
this weekend. May God use this weekend to save lost souls,
strengthen and encourage believers, and change the world
through this generation.

Blessings,
Jeff
